2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Easily Steals the Virtual Show From the Grand Wagoneer

Speaking of those two, Hyundai also launched the MX5 fifth generation in Australia, where the powertrain choice is more expansive than in North America or Europe. But the Grand Cherokee shouldn't fear it because Hyundai is one step below in powertrains with four-cylinder turbo and hybrid mills – the Jeep SUV has V6, V8, and plug-in hybrid options instead.

Meanwhile, the word on the streets of rumor town says there's an upcoming Grand Cherokee refresh that could bring with it the demise of the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and the introduction of the 3.0-liter Hurricane SSTs (straight-six turbo) from the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Quite close to each other in terms of design, too, it is clear that the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L are in a bit of a competition with the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

So far, the price advantage was for the Grand Cherokee, while the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are more practical and spacious. Well, suppose we are to trust the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, who have been hard at work trying to envision the upcoming Grand Cherokee refresh. In that case, the scales might tip the balance toward the latter instead of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer next.

According to some creative forces, the 2025 or 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee will turn slightly boxier and feature a refreshingly cool design to ensure the rivals cannot overcome the appeal of the long-running SUV nameplate. Others, like Dimas Ramadhan, the virtual automotive artist behind the Digimods DESIGN channel on YouTube, who has also taken up the task of revealing the Grand Cherokee facelift, might think the iconic model deserves to be even more refreshing than the flagship Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer.

As such, the pixel master gave the hypothetical 2025 Grand Cherokee refresh a slew of updates – including a total emphasis on the seven-slot grille by dropping the low-bumper intake to nano levels, slimmer headlights that combine with the rear lights now housed in two separate pods of LEDs, and bigger alloy wheels. All in all, it's logical to assume that Jeep will soon overhaul the Grand Cherokee. After all, it's one of the company's most notorious nameplates alongside the legendary Wrangler, and the latter has already received an encompassing update for the 2024MY.

Besides, we are pretty sure that Jeep will also drop the 5.7-liter and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s from the roster, too. If the 2025 Ram 1500 series is any indication, they will also give the SUV a slew of design and interior updates when they introduce the Hurricanes on the Grand Cherokee.
